Minimizing Unnecessary Handovers in a Heterogeneous Network Environment

چکیده
In this paper, we have provided a model to minimize the unnecessary handovers from a cellular network to a WLAN. Exploiting traveling distance prediction method, the proposed handover necessity estimation mechanism uses distance threshold parameters to avoid unnecessary handovers. Our analysis and simulation results suggest that the proposed mechanism can keep the probabilities of handover failure and unnecessary handover close to the predetermined designed values. Streszczenie. Przedstawiono model umożliwiający minimalizowanie niepotrzebnych przełączeń typu handover między siecią komórkowa a siecią bezprzewodową WLAN.

New Vertical Handover Method to Optimize Utilization of Wireless Local Area Network in High-Speed Environment
In heterogeneous wireless networks, wireless local area network (WLAN) is highly preferred by mobile terminals (MTs) owing to its high transmission bandwidth and low access cost. However, in high-speed environment, handover from a cellular network to a WLAN cell will lead to a high number of handover failures and unnecessary handovers due to the WLAN coverage limitation and will become worse at...

The widespread popularity of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is recognized as an effective approach to complementing cellular networks for the high data rate and cost effective connectivity delivered to mobile users. Efficient handover and offloading schemes for integrated WLAN and cellular networks, referred to as Heterogeneous Wireless Networks, have thus attracted lots of attentions from ...
متن کاملHandover Necessity Estimation for 4G Heterogeneous Networks
One of the most challenges of 4G network is to have a unified network of heterogeneous wireless networks. To achieve seamless mobility in such a diverse environment, vertical hand off is still a challenging problem. In many situations handover failures and unnecessary handoffs are triggered causing degradation of services, reduction in throughput and increase the blocking probability and packet...
متن کاملHandover Management In Heterogeneous Networks
The continuation of an active call is one of the most important quality measurement in cellular system. Handoff process enables a cellular system to provide such a facility by transferring an active call from one cell to another. In this paper a new vertical handoff decision algorithm, handover necessity estimation (HNE), is proposed to minimize the number of handover failure and unnecessary ha...
